Sport Studies: Bachelor of Science in Health and Sport Studies This major allows students who have a keen interest in sport to study it from a cross-disciplinary perspective that includes historical, psychological, sociological orientations to analysis. Through course work in the major, students are asked to think in both critical and self-reflexive ways about how and why the "what is" came to be with regard to leisure and sport practices. Anchored in the knowledge of arts and sciences, the Sport Studies program serves as a springboard for the pursuit of advanced degrees within and outside of sport studies. Students who have graduated from this program have entered graduate programs in sport management/marketing, cultural studies, sociology, sport psychology, and law.

Programs in health education and physical education lead to teacher licensure for prekindergarten through grade 12. Health Education: Bachelor of Science in Education Successful completion of the degree and licensure requirements will result in an Ohio Teaching Licensure in Health Education, pre-kindergarten to grade 12. Graduates of this licensure program may teach health education in schools. However, since schools are linked to communities, health educators may be hired to do school-community coordinating work for children and youth before, during and after school in collaboration with other health and education professionals. Some graduates have entered careers in community health organizations, work site wellness programs, and/or clinical health promotion settings. Students in teacher licensure programs will be expected to successfully pass the portfolio review process at established benchmarks within the program. Information about the portfolio review process can be obtained from the Department of Physical Education, Health and Sport Studies Web page at www.muohio.edu/eap/phs.
